@AaronxShepherd We burned money on outbound for months before realizing the problem wasn't the campaign. We just had nothing credible for prospects to find. Fixed the brand layer first, same campaign, different results.
Hardcoding one AI model into production feels convenient until your needs change.
A support chatbot, a coding assistant, and a document reviewer don't all need the same model. Picking one forever usually means paying more than necessary or sacrificing quality.
@thetimgabe@designbyzipzap Two years to $100k/m with a team that outproduces you solo. That's the real milestone. Did the course audience carry over or was the pipeline built fresh?
I keep seeing the $120K posted. Nobody mentions the 4 months of zero revenue underneath it. Bootstrapped team of 5, clients across US, Dubai, Australia, India, Saudi. Zero investors. The number isn't the story - the structure is.
i literally went from having $0.2 tea to $120K revenue in <365 days
both things are true, its the same year and the same person.
but the part nobody saw :
- quit the US remote job my entire college batch was chasing
- 4 months of zero revenue while telling everyone it was going great
- SaaS collapsed mid-build. co-founder dispute and its gone overnight
- restarted from zero. no safety net. no backup plan
- friends settling into jobs while i was still figuring out
but i kept going. not because i was sure but because i stopping felt worse.
also in those same 365 days:
- $120K revenue. zero investors.
- 50+ products shipped across industries and countries
- team of 1 to team of 5
- clients across US, Dubai, Australia, India, Saudi Arabia
- one client raised a $100K seed round after we built their MVP
- another hit 250K+ downloads after we shipped their app featured in Business Today and Hindustan Times
both lists. same year. same person.
people always want to know how you did it.
nobody asks what it cos
@Victor_Ecomm Supplement advertorials all follow the same playbook. The 'Dr.' figure is standard. What's not standard is the patience before the offer. Most brands would've panicked and moved the CTA up by paragraph two.
@theperryecom 13 ROAS on statics is solid. Curious what your creative refresh cadence looks like. That's usually where the clockwork breaks down for me.
Working on a deeper integration for Eve
Should we call it Adam?
Introducing OpenUI Adam - the perfect companion to Vercel Eve to start a world of agents!
AI VFX just crossed a line most tools couldn't touch.
This was generated with Gemini Omni Flash on Higgsfield, and the effects work holds up in a way earlier models never managed. Clean compositing, believable motion, the kind of shot that used to need a real VFX pipeline. You describe it and the model builds it.
The gap between prompt and post-production keeps shrinking.

@blwiertz It's not a talent gap, it's a friction gap. How long to incorporate, how clear the tax code is, whether regulators work with you or against you. That's what decides where a kid like this actually builds.
.@packyM is a legend and we are lucky to have him as an investor at @metrics_co.
He wrote the canonical piece on Standard Metrics that we encourage our whole team to read.
A LOT has changed since then, but the piece is still spot on.

This is the first release of us doing in-person (studio + on-location) recordings for Titans.
I had no idea how much better recording in-person would be.
Although saying that feels kind of obvious...of course it's better to talk to someone in real life.
Also, Will is an animal of an operator and Jess clearly knows what she's doing.
You should watch/listen to this episode.
@GraceRandolph Swapped a Cyndi Lauper cover for Jimmy Eat World and the scores still dropped. At some point you're just rearranging deck chairs on a $180M ship.
We taught our MCP to draw.
Search @21st_dev from Claude and results come back as an inline, interactive card gallery: previews, hover videos, one-tap "get code." Not JSON. Not a link dump. Actual UI, in chat.
